River Dun (River Kennet)
The River Dun (historically known as Bedwyn Brook) is a tributary of the River Kennet, flowing through Wiltshire and Berkshire in England. Its main source is in the parish of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire and it flows in a northeasterly direction into Berkshire. It discharges into the Kennet at Hungerford, which has a smaller average flow and width upstream of that point. The Dun valley is an important transport route through the high chalklands between the London Basin to the east and the Vale of Pewsey to the west. It is the route by which the Kennet and Avon Canal (linking London and Bristol) enters the Thames basin from the Vale of Pewsey, crossing the watershed with the aid of the Bruce Tunnel The Bruce Tunnel is on the summit pound of the Kennet and Avon Canal between Wootton Top Lock and Crofton Locks in Wiltshire, England.

After passing north of Lockerley and Dunbridge, it joins the Test near Kimbridge.''Soulful Nature: A spiritual field guide'', Brian Draper, Howard Green, 2020 The Test ultimately drains into Southampton Water.

River Don, Yorkshire
The River Don (also called River Dun in some stretches) is a river in South Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It rises in the Pennines, west of Dunford Bridge, and flows for eastwards, through the Don Valley, via Penistone, Sheffield, Rotherham, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster and Stainforth. It originally joined the Trent, but was re-engineered by Cornelius Vermuyden as the ''Dutch River'' in the 1620s, and now joins the River Ouse at Goole. Don Valley is a UK parliamentary constituency near the Doncaster stretch of the river. Etymology The probable origin of the name was Brittonic ''Dānā'', from a root ''dān-'', meaning "water" or "river". The name Dôn (or Danu), a Celtic mother goddess, has the same origin. The river gave its name to the Don River, one of the principal rivers of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Geography The Don can be divided into sections by the different types of structures built to restrict its passage. The upper reach ...

River Dun, Northern Ireland
The River Dun, also known as the Glendun River (in Irish: ''Abhann Duinne'', brown river) is a river in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It runs through Glendun, one of the nine Glens of Antrim. The river is named after its brown colour, which comes from the peat bogs at its source on the slopes of Slievenanee on the Antrim Plateau. The source of the river is a few hundred metres from that of the River Bush, which flows north-east to meet the sea at Bushmills. Cushendun (''Bun Abhann Duinne'', "foot of the River Dun" in Irish – although the English name derives from ''Cois Abhann Duinne'', "beside the River Dun") is a small coastal resort town lying at the mouth of the River Dun and Glendun. Glendun Viaduct The river is spanned by the Glendun Viaduct. The arched viaduct, known locally as the Big Bridge, was built between 1834 and 1839 by workers from County Monaghan and County Donegal. Angling The river supports a population of brown trout which rarely attain wei ...
